Chapter 224 Kill the Nine Demons and Return to the Yamen
Tiandufang, main street.

Liu Yuan, an officer from the fourth group of the Weiwu Division, seemed a little restless at this moment.

Chief Officer Zheng has occupied the position of Chief Officer of the Weiwu Division for some years and never misses any opportunity to gain benefits from them.

These years, everyone in the Weiwu Division has been angry but dared not speak out.

Now we say that it will take one month to bring the demon who killed Xi Chasi to justice. That means one month, not a day more.

As the final deadline was getting closer, he had completely lost hope in Shen Qing.

You must save yourself.

There are now seven people in their four groups, three of whom have already found a place to go, but the remaining four, including him, have not yet found a place to go.

He estimated that he would have to bleed a lot before he could pass this stage.

As for resistance?

Although Mr. Zheng is lustful and greedy for money, he is, after all, a Danren realm cultivator and is considered a well-known figure in Yongzhou City.

Not to mention that the government offices in the county town are all in collusion with each other, and they, with their weak arms, are no match for such a powerful person.

His position as an official was not easy to come by.

I can only accept my fate.

While he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw a colleague from the same team in front of him and asked in surprise: "Shou Yuan? Why are you here?"

Each of their four groups has a corresponding patrol area. Unless there are accidents, they will not patrol in the same area.

I ran into other officers in Tiandufang, so something must have gone wrong.

"I just heard from my colleagues in the Military Department that there are demons appearing in Tiandufang. I want to go over and take a look." Wang Shouyuan said quickly in one breath.

Hearing the movement of the demon, Liu Yuan immediately perked up and followed behind Wang Shouyuan: "Let's go together."

Now that the demon has been discovered, they will all have an explanation whether it is the one that killed Xi Chasi or not.

Thinking of this, he became a little impatient, worried that the demon would escape.

Looking at Wang Shouyuan's slow movements in front of him, he wanted to slap him and asked hurriedly: "Shouyuan, where are you?"

The officer named Wang Shouyuan pointed casually and said, "It's over there."

Liu Yuan looked in the direction Wang Shouyuan pointed, and without waiting for him, he used his body skills to rush forward.

He had been patrolling in Tiandufang and was very familiar with the streets here. With his excellent physical skills, he left Wang Shouyuan behind in just a dozen breaths.

Soon, Liu Yuan arrived at a private house.

At this time, the entrance of the house was crowded with people, and there were three layers of people inside and outside.

A faint smell of blood penetrated into his nostrils.

Liu Yuan's face changed, he put his hand on his sword, gripped the hilt tightly, and shouted: "The Weiwu Division is investigating the case! Get out of the way!"

The ordinary people who were watching heard the sound and looked over, seeing Liu Yuan in his official uniform, and they all made way to the sides.

Liu Yuan's heart tightened, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his hand that was tightly gripping the hilt of the knife.

During this period, there were many cases of demons eating people in the city, and each scene was extremely bloody and terrifying.

Before he rushed in, the image of blood flowing automatically emerged in his mind.

It made him feel physically uncomfortable and fearful.

He was naturally afraid of this scene.

But he thought that his position as an official was hard-earned, and he could not miss the opportunity before him.

So he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and rushed straight into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he suddenly froze.

In his sight, Liu Yuan saw the corpses of cat demons all over the ground, each of them died in different ways. The demon's blood was scattered everywhere, and the blue bricks of the house were stained dark red.

The strong smell of blood filled the whole house.

Shen Qing was sitting on a broken chair, holding a knife, with his eyes closed, resting, while Ji Youwu was busy cleaning up the monster's corpse on the ground. "Chassis Shen, why are you here? Where is the monster?"

Shen Qing opened his eyes and looked around: "It's all here."

Liu Yuan was stunned and speechless.

There was neither the expected bloody scene nor the expected fierce battle.

The demon that had made them so nervous for so long ended in such a ridiculous way.

Shen Qing stood up and said, "Don't just stand here, come and help me, there are so many demon corpses that Youwu can't handle it alone."

Wang Shouyuan, who was one step behind Liu Yuan, also arrived shortly afterwards. Looking at the scene in the room, he was also speechless like Liu Yuan.

"Hey, there's another one here. The three of you take the body with you and come back to the government office with me to report."

With help from others, Shen Qing immediately stepped forward and walked out of the house with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

Liu Yuan and the other two hurriedly clasped their hands together respectfully and responded solemnly.

Even they themselves did not notice that their attitude had become much more respectful unconsciously.

Just as Shen Qing and others were leaving with the demon's corpse, a white cat on the roof jumped quietly from the courtyard wall and quickly ran into the alley.

……

Zhou family courtyard.

Although it is early winter, the courtyard is still full of flowers, birds singing and flowers blooming, as if it is a world of its own.

A round table was carefully arranged next to the flowers, and the table was filled with a variety of exquisite snacks that made people salivate.

There was a stove on the table, and a young woman in white was making tea with a teapot.

"Madam, the Fifth Young Master is here."

The young woman's eyes were full of smiles, and she said calmly, "Please ask the Fifth Young Master to come over. I have brewed a cup of hot tea for him to drink to warm his body."

"Yes, young mistress."

"Hahaha, I'm coming over here, no need to invite me." Zhou Xintong's hearty laughter came from outside the courtyard: "I haven't come to visit my sister-in-law for a long time. I have nothing to do today, so I just want to sit here with you."

The young woman stood up and bowed gracefully, saying, "Meet the Fifth Young Master."

Zhou Xintong looked at the woman and felt warm in his heart, and his mouth was dry.

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite." Zhou Xintong sat on the stone chair opposite the woman with a look of fascination on his face.

It’s really a good deal, brother.

Behind him, Zhou Jishan, who had moved back to his master's home from Taiping County, stood behind Zhou Xintong like a servant, his face looking a little numb.

"Fifth Young Master, have some tea." The woman brewed a cup of tea with her bare hands and handed it to Zhou Xintong.

Zhou Xintong only felt the fragrance filling his face, which made him enjoy it very much.

He took the tea handed to him by the woman and was absent-minded for a moment, thinking that his elder brother was really lucky.

If he could marry such a woman, he would be willing even if it meant shortening his life by ten years.

"What great tea! My sister-in-law is a great cook." Zhou Xintong took a sip and felt all his pores relax and he felt extremely comfortable.

He put down his teacup and said, "I just got news from my father that my eldest brother will be busy outside for a while before he can come back."

"I'm used to it."

"My eldest brother is away from home all year round, and you guys have been spending less time together than together. As your younger brother, I can't stand it any more. I recently cleared out a room and put a lot of strange things in it. If you're bored here, you can come sit in my yard more often."

"Okay." The woman agreed readily, making Zhou Xintong very happy.

"Meow!"

Just then a white cat came out from the flowers in the yard and jumped into the woman's arms.
